Adjustable broom block clamp

Abstract

An adjustable clamp assembly for securing a broom block to a handle member including: an upper clamp member, a lower clamp member, and fastener members connecting the upper and lower clamp members. The upper clamp member includes a depending flange portion having an extension member and adjustment means for incrementally adjusting the vertical position of the extension member with respect to the depending flange portion wherein the adjustment means includes a plurality of apertures disposed in the depending portion and defining at least two spaced positions and tab members disposed on the extension member for selective mechanical interlocking engagement with the apertures in one of the positions.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
       1. A combined handle and an adjustable clamp assembly for securing a broom block to the handle comprising an elongated handle member having first and second substantially aligned, longitudinally spaced holes therethrough;   an upper clamp member including first and second elongated substantially aligned, longitudinally extending, upper clamp member apertures for use in securing said upper clamp member to said handle member;   a lower clamp member including first and second elongated substantially aligned, longitudinally extending, lower clamp member apertures for use in securing said lower clamp member to said handle member, and   first and second fastener members extending respectively through said first and second elongated upper clamp member apertures, said first and second holes in said handle, and said first and second elongated lower clamp member apertures to interconnect and secure together said upper clamp member, said handle member, and said lower clamp member; said upper and lower clamp members adapted to engage and retain a said broom block and said first and second fastener members being positioned in said elongated apertures such that said handle may be in engagement with a said broom block.
